          Abstract

          Se aborda la perspectiva teórica sobre menores de edad con psicopatía, desde una revisión de documentos y artículos científicos de referencia. Se comienza analizando los rasgos de personalidad, las características psicopáticas y su repercusión en menores. Todo ello a través del análisis cualitativo de los diferentes textos científicos en los que se desarrollan los modelos psicobiológicos que más han influido en el estudio de ambos fenómenos. Posteriormente, se enumeran los retos que plantea este campo en materia de investigación, como los problemas que se presentan a la hora de definir la psicopatía y la sociopatía, las conductas típicas en la infancia y la adolescencia que pueden ayudar a predecir el desarrollo de una psicopatía o de una sociopatía, así como la identificación de los factores de riesgo y de protección relacionados con este tipo de personas. Además, se lleva a cabo una breve revisión de la situación actual de los programas de intervención con jóvenes que presentan rasgos psicopáticos, y se concluye con los objetivos principales que todo programa de esta índole debe tener a la hora de tratar este fenómeno.

          Translated abstract

          The theoretical perspective of psychopathy in minors is addressed from a review of reference documents and scientific articles. It begins by examining both personality traits and psychopathic features and their repercussion on young persons, always through a qualitative analysis of the diff erent scientific texts where the most influential psychobiological models in the study of both characteristics are developed. Subsequently, the challenges posed by this field in the area of research are listed, along with the problems encountered at the time of defining psychopathy and sociopathy and the typical conducts in childhood and adolescence that might help predict the development of a psychopathy or a sociopathy, as well as the identification of risk and protection factors relating with this type of individuals. In addition, a brief review is included regarding the current situation of intervention programs with juveniles showing psychopathic traits, and it concludes by explaining the main objectives that any program of this nature must envisage at the time of dealing with this phenomenon.

              The importance of child and adolescent psychopathy.

              In commenting on the five articles in this special issue, this paper discusses (1) the concept of child and adolescent psychopathy, and whether adolescent psychopaths are qualitatively distinct from other young people; (2) the measurement of adolescent psychopathy; (3) the relationship between psychopathy and other personality dimensions; (4) childhood risk factors for psychopathy; (5) psychopathy in the context of risk factors for delinquency; and (6) the prevention and treatment of adolescent psychopathy. It is argued that the three dimensions of an arrogant, deceitful interpersonal style, deficient affective experience, and an impulsive or irresponsible behavioral style are most important at present in the definition of psychopathy. An ambitious research agenda is recommended, investigating the concept of adolescent psychopathy, developing new measures, conducting new longitudinal studies on development and risk factors, and mounting new randomized experiments on prevention and treatment.
